Bulletin

Solar activity has been very low in past 24 h, no flares above the B level. C-class flares remain possible. The Earth is under the influence of a fast speed stream from a coronal hole. Minor storm conditions were observed at planetary levels at midnight (Kp = 5) and active conditions after, at local levels only active conditions were recorded at Dourbes (K = 4). This situation is expected to continue today.

Today's estimated international sunspot number (ISN): 037, based on 15 stations.
